A JEWELLER with three decades of retail experience has taken over the reins of a Wrexham store.

Martin Smith is the new manager of F Hinds at the Eagles Meadow shopping centre.

He said: “One of the main factors for me and one of the main reasons I wanted to come and work here is that the company remains a family-run business.

“What you get as a result at F Hinds, is a much more focused customer service and a real sense of the staff feeling that they have a stake in the overall business. I really do think that’s vitally important.”

Martin, who has lived with his wife in Chirk for the past 20 years after moving from Stockton-on-Tees, had previously worked at Cheshire Oaks in Ellesmere Port.

He said: “We have a really good team of five employees at the F Hinds store.

“We all get on tremendously well and everyone is very professional.”

Looking ahead to Christmas, he said: “The jewellery business is always particularly busy.

“It’s my job to ensure we are ready and fully prepared for what will be a very busy couple of months.

“We will ensure the shop is as sparkling as the diamond rings we sell and look forward to welcoming our customers.”
